When your heavy equipment needs to move, you get more than just transport. You get machinery that arrives exactly where it needs to be, when it needs to be there, without damage or delays that cost you money.
Your project timeline stays intact because we handle the logistics, permits, and route planning. No waiting around for equipment that should have been there yesterday. No scrambling to find backup machinery because something got damaged in transit.
The equipment shows up ready to work, properly positioned, and your crew can get started immediately. That’s what happens when you work with operators who understand that moving heavy machinery isn’t just about getting from point A to point B.
We’ve been serving East Whitehall and the surrounding Capital Region since 1997. What started as a logging operation has grown into a full-service excavation and equipment moving company that understands the local terrain, regulations, and challenges.
Josh personally oversees most jobs to ensure your equipment gets the attention it deserves. When you’re dealing with machinery worth tens of thousands of dollars, you want someone who’s invested in getting it right the first time.
We’ve built our reputation on being the excavating and equipment moving company that East Whitehall property owners and contractors call when they need it done right. Not the cheapest option, but the one that delivers results without surprises.
First, we assess your equipment and the move requirements. We look at the machinery dimensions, weight, pickup and delivery locations, and any special handling needs. This isn’t guesswork – we measure, plan, and identify potential challenges before they become problems.
Next comes route planning and permits. We handle the regulatory requirements, identify the safest and most efficient route, and coordinate timing with your schedule. If permits are needed, we take care of the paperwork so your move stays on track.
The actual transport happens with professional equipment and experienced operators. We use GPS-guided systems for precision loading and transport. Your machinery gets secured properly, transported safely, and positioned exactly where you need it at the destination.

Your heavy equipment move includes professional loading, secure transport, and precise positioning at the destination. We handle excavators, bulldozers, loaders, and other construction machinery with the specialized equipment and expertise each type requires.
East Whitehall’s terrain presents unique challenges – from rocky soil conditions to seasonal weather that affects access routes. We know which roads can handle heavy loads, where potential problems occur during mud season, and how to work around the local infrastructure limitations.
The service also covers all necessary permits and regulatory compliance. Washington County has specific requirements for oversized loads, and we ensure everything meets local and state standards. You get transparent pricing upfront, comprehensive insurance coverage, and the peace of mind that comes from working with operators who’ve been handling heavy equipment in this area for decades.
Heavy equipment moving costs in East Whitehall typically range from $300 to $800 for local moves, depending on the size and weight of your machinery and the distance traveled. A standard excavator move within 20 miles usually runs $400-600, while larger equipment or longer distances increase the cost.
The final price depends on several factors: equipment dimensions and weight, pickup and delivery accessibility, permit requirements, and timing. We provide transparent pricing upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Distance plays a major role – local moves within East Whitehall and surrounding areas cost significantly less than long-distance transport. We charge by loaded mile for most moves, with current rates around $3 per mile for equipment within 150 miles.
We move all types of construction and excavation equipment including excavators, bulldozers, loaders, skid steers, compactors, and specialized machinery. Our equipment can handle machines ranging from compact utility vehicles up to large excavators and dozers weighing 60,000+ pounds.
Each type of equipment has specific loading and transport requirements. Excavators need proper boom and bucket positioning, while tracked equipment requires different securing methods than wheeled machinery. We understand these requirements and have the specialized trailers and equipment to handle each type safely.
If your equipment has unusual dimensions or special handling needs, we assess each move individually. Some oversized or overweight equipment may require permits or escort vehicles, which we coordinate as part of the service.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and ensure compliance with local, county, and state regulations for oversized or overweight loads. This includes Washington County permit requirements, DOT regulations, and any special routing restrictions that apply to your equipment move.
Permit requirements vary based on equipment dimensions and weight. Standard-sized equipment often doesn’t require permits, but larger excavators, dozers, or wide equipment typically do. We determine what’s needed during the initial assessment and handle the paperwork.
The permit process can take several days, so we factor this into the scheduling. We also coordinate with local authorities when necessary and ensure all documentation is in order before the move begins. This prevents delays and ensures your equipment transport stays legal and compliant.
For urgent equipment moves in East Whitehall, we can often respond within 24-48 hours depending on equipment availability and permit requirements. Emergency moves get priority scheduling, though same-day service depends on the specific circumstances and regulatory requirements.
Standard equipment moves that don’t require permits can usually be scheduled within a few days. Larger equipment or moves requiring permits take longer due to the approval process, typically 3-5 business days minimum.
If you have an urgent deadline, call us immediately so we can assess options. Sometimes we can expedite permits or adjust our schedule to accommodate critical moves. The key is early communication – the sooner we know about your timeline, the better we can work with you to meet it.
We carry comprehensive cargo insurance that covers your equipment during transport, typically up to $500,000 per incident. This protects against damage during loading, transport, and unloading. We also maintain full commercial liability insurance and proper licensing for heavy equipment transport.
Our insurance covers the full replacement value of most construction equipment. For extremely high-value machinery, we can arrange additional coverage if needed. All insurance documentation is available for review before we begin any move.
The coverage includes protection against road accidents, equipment failure during transport, and damage during loading or unloading operations. We also maintain proper DOT authority and comply with all federal and state insurance requirements for commercial heavy haul operations.
We provide heavy equipment moving services throughout East Whitehall and the greater Capital Region, including Washington County, Warren County, and Saratoga County. Our service area extends to surrounding communities like Whitehall, Fort Edward, Hartford, and Salem.
Local knowledge makes a significant difference in equipment moving. We understand the road conditions, seasonal access issues, and infrastructure limitations throughout the region. We know which routes can handle heavy loads and where potential problems occur during different times of year.
For moves outside our primary service area, we can often accommodate them depending on the distance and equipment requirements. Long-distance moves require additional planning and may involve coordination with other carriers, but we work to find solutions for customers who need equipment moved beyond our standard service radius.
